Chapter 142: Lost contact during the rainy day
Xie Yanchuan knew that there had been heavy rains in Province G recently, and he had been reminding Xu Jinzhi, but Xu Jinzhi never seemed to take it to heart.

Province G is close to the mountains, so if it rains heavily...

Xie Yanchuan felt very uneasy, so he called Xu Jinzhi directly. The call was connected quickly. The moment he heard Xu Jinzhi's voice, Xie Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you calling at this time? Are you done with your work?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan's original worries had almost disappeared, and he said gently: "No, I just suddenly wanted to call you."

Xu Jinzhi paused, then couldn't help but tease, "Miss me so much?"

Xie Yanchuan did not refute, he just thought about Xu Jinzhi.

"You miss me so much after only being on a business trip for a few days. What will you do if I go abroad next time?" Xu Jinzhi smiled helplessly.

"How's the weather over there? Is it raining heavily?" Xie Yanchuan answered the question irrelevantly.

On the phone, Xu Jinzhi hesitated for a few seconds again, and then said, "It rained heavily this morning."

"What about now? Is it still raining?"

"It's not raining now, don't worry, I didn't..."

"boom!"

A loud noise, like something breaking, interrupted Xu Jinzhi's words, and then the voice on the phone began to become noisy.

"Xu Jinzhi!" Xie Yanchuan shouted with a hint of anger in his tone.

This was the first time he spoke to Xu Jinzhi in such a tone since he met her.

"Xu Jinzhi, where are you? What happened to you?" Xie Yanchuan asked, suppressing his anger.

At first he really didn't notice anything wrong, but he vaguely heard the sound of the wind, like the whistling sound of a cold winter wind.

So he asked Xu Jinzhi about the weather, and Xu Jinzhi hesitated. He hesitated twice in a row!
Then there was the sound of glass breaking, and then a noisy sound coming from the phone. He vaguely heard words like, "What should we do now?" and "Can't we leave?"

Xie Yanchuan was sure that Xu Jinzhi was not safe at all now!
The call was still going on. Xie Yanchuan walked out quickly while adjusting his mood. He continued to ask, "Jinzhi, where are you? Are you safe for the time being?"

On the other side of the phone, Xu Jinzhi knew she couldn't keep it a secret any longer. She sighed and said helplessly, "I went up the mountain with the project team for a field survey and now I'm stuck in a resort hotel."

"Is it raining heavily?" Xie Yanchuan asked.

"Well, it didn't rain at first, but it has been showers for the past few days. We didn't take it seriously, but who knew that after we got to the mountain, the rain would not stop."

Xu Jinzhi also had a headache. Not only was it raining non-stop, but there was also a typhoon and the wind was very strong. The resort hotel had special rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.

The loud noise just now was caused by one of the windows upstairs being blown down.

But Xu Jinzhi couldn't tell Xie Yanchuan about these things because he would be worried.

Xu Jinzhi tried to stay calm, "Don't worry, we are safe in the hotel now. We will go down the mountain when the rain stops."

"By the way, there's a power outage in the hotel. If you can't get through to me later, it means my phone is out of battery. I'm in the hotel with everyone. Nothing will happen to me."

Xie Yanchuan opened his mouth, wanting to say how could he not be worried!
But thinking that he was not by her side, no matter how much he worried about her, it would only scare her, so he could not say those worried words anymore. Xie Yanchuan had no choice but to follow Xu Jinzhi's words and said, "Okay, I understand."

"But you are in the mountains. Even if it stops raining for a while, you have to be careful if you want to leave quickly. Heavy rain can easily cause landslides."

"If you are safe in a resort hotel, it is best not to leave until you are sure that everything is OK."

"Also, there may be a lot of people in the hotel. You should follow Assistant Chen and the others. Don't be left alone."

Xie Yanchuan spoke quickly as he rushed to the school parking lot. Although it was afternoon, the sun was very strong and Xie Yanchuan walked very fast and was already sweating.

Xu Jinzhi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Xie Yanchuan's instructions. She quickly responded, "I know."

"That's it for now. I'll call you later." Xie Yanchuan was ready to drive away.

Xu Jinzhi didn't know, and thought that he was the one who said that there was a power outage in the hotel and that the phone might not be reachable later, so Xie Yanchuan didn't dare to keep talking about it.

The two of them hung up the phone, and after hanging up, Xie Yanchuan directly clicked into the ticket purchasing software.

However, at this time, all direct flights to the provincial capital of Province G have been suspended due to heavy rain, and it is still uncertain when they will be able to fly again.

Xie Yanchuan could only settle for the second best and choose nearby cities. Fortunately, the nearby cities were still accessible, so Xie Yanchuan decisively booked the tickets.

Then Xie Yanchuan went directly to the airport. It took nearly an hour to get there. Xie Yanchuan did not call Xu Jinzhi, but was following the situation in Province G on the radio.

As a result, the heavy rain is still continuing, and many places have accumulated water. In low-lying areas, the water is already very deep.

Xie Yanchuan frowned.

When Xie Yanchuan arrived at the airport and was about to board the plane, he called Xu Jinzhi again.

Xu Jinzhi was connected quickly, and Xie Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least Xu Jinzhi was safe now.

After a few brief instructions, the call was quickly hung up, and after hanging up, Xie Yanchuan boarded the plane.

Two hours later, Xie Yanchuan got off the plane smoothly and contacted Xu Jinzhi again, but this time, Xie Yanchuan failed to get through to Xu Jinzhi!
Xie Yanchuan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad premonition.

But Xie Yanchuan couldn't panic. He tried to stay calm and chose to call Assistant Chen, but Assistant Chen didn't answer the call either.

Xie Yanchuan became even more panicked, but apart from Xu Jinzhi's phone number, he only had Assistant Chen's phone number. Now he couldn't contact either of them, and Xie Yanchuan didn't know who else he could contact.

Xie Yanchuan could only find a taxi first and then continue to contact on the way.

But it was raining here too, and there were few cars. When Xie Yanchuan told him his destination, the taxi driver was even more reluctant to go.

Xie Yanchuan was a little panicked for a moment, and finally had no choice but to go to the car rental company and rent a car himself.

However, during this period, Xie Yanchuan was unable to contact anyone among Xu Jinzhi and his group!

Xie Yanchuan's face looked very bad. There were so many of them, it was impossible for all of their cell phones to run out of battery at the same time.

　My dears, I am begging for recommendations, monthly tickets, collections and rewards!
